Yes indeed HD that is Eliza's beautiful backing vocal on the Tam Lyn Retold track. It's her playing fiddle as well. And yes Peter Gabriel does do some songs with Afro Celt Sound System, whose Simon Emmerson was instrumental in getting The Imagined Village project together. "When You're Falling" is one of my favorite songs. I have an MP3 player loaded up with a lot of ACSS and Dohl Foundation (as well as Boozoo Chavis, Clifton Chenier, Buena Vista Social Club, new swing, etc.). All up tempo stuff for walking. When that song comes on I find myself getting odd looks from other towpath travellers because I'm belting out the chorus at the top of my lungs. That's the problem with ear buds, I can't hear how badly I sing. :^).
   I've been intrigued by ACSS for several years now. I read somewhere that nearly all American Musical forms originate out of a blending of West African rhythms and the melodies and narrative aspects of the music of Ireland, Scotland and England. Afro Celt and now The imagined Village seem like they are blending these same ingredients with entirely fresh and refreshing results.
   That is why I celebrate 'Folk'. It's roots go back to the beginning of humanity, to the lullabies Mothers soothed their babes to sleep with and the hunting songs of our ancestors. And yet it can be open as well to fresh new interpretations and multi-cultural influences. It tells the story of folk in a way that all the history books can never quite capture.
   Azizi, thanks for the You-Tube links. Of course I have seen "Yes We Can" video before but the other one was a new one on me.
